The invention still further relates to a kind of manufacture method of self-supporting tyre for vehicle wheels, this method comprises the following steps: to prepare a carcass structure, this carcass structure has at least one casingply, described casingply is provided with the end rim strip that can engage with the corresponding annular additional strengthening, this additional strengthening is provided with the position of space in the axial direction with the form with the coaxial of tire, and each additional strengthening all is arranged in the tyre bead, in the described tyre bead at least one provides support the surface in its inner radial position, and described stayed surface defines in the radial section of tire towards the pivot center of tire itself understands the profile of coalescence away from the equatorial plane of tire; In the radially outer position of carcass structure a band structure is set; A tread strip is set on the radially outer position of band structure; Horizontal relative position at carcass structure is provided with pair of sidewalls, and each sidewall extends between a side of a described tyre bead and described tread strip.
Motor tire mainly comprises a carcass structure, this carcass structure is made of one or more casingplies, in prevailing structure, each inside circumference that these casingplies turn on having around inductile ring insert, these inserts are parts of annular additional strengthening, and often are located at the relative axial position place in the zone that is called as " tyre bead ".
The band structure that is set on one or more casingply in the radially outer position comprises radially stacked one or more belts continuously.The tread strip of an elastomeric material radially is stacked on the band structure.The outside of carcass structure also is covered with each sidewall of also being made by elastomeric material.
Should be noted that in the present invention, word " elastomeric material " is meant rubber composition on the whole, is to be suitable for and to be strengthened the composite that base polymer that extending agent and/or various dissimilar treatment additive mix is made by at least a.
Tyre bead, the tyre bead that particularly wherein is provided with annular additional strengthening preferably can be complementary with each circumferential seat, on the wheel rim that described circumferential seat is arranged in tire engages, thereby guarantees stable connection between these two assemblies of wheel.
In more detail, being connected between the corresponding circumferential seat of each tyre bead and wheel rim should be such, that is, under the inflation pressure of tire effect, make tyre bead be compressed against consistently along the direction away from the pivot center of tire extend radially out and limit wheel rim axially to external margin on the shaft shoulder.At least (promptly at band tyre, tire at no inflatable inner tube) in, each circumferential seat that engages with tyre bead all has frusto-conical surface, is called " wheel rim " hereinafter, and described wheel rim has the extendible portion of assembling towards pivot center when shifting near the equatorial plane of tire.Each wheel rim that is axially pushed away the equatorial plane under the inflation pressure of tire effect all produces the axial thrust effect to corresponding wheel rim, to guarantee the desirable air-tightness of tire.
Proposed such automotive wheel in recent years, wherein the joining base of tyre bead has such truncated cone structure,, has the extendible portion of assembling towards pivot center away from the equatorial plane that is.In U.S. Pat 5,634, an example of such wheel rim one tyre assembly has been described in 993.In the embodiment that this patent proposed, shape has annular additional strengthening with the tyre bead that corresponding wheel ring support is complementary, and described additional strengthening comprises common ring, and the end rim strip of casingply upwards turns over around described annulate shaft.The radiant type carcass structure has a transversal profile with constant bending direction on the whole, and its tangent line that is close to described ring is arranged essentially parallel to the equatorial plane.
In document US 5,971, a kind of tire has been described in 047, described tire has the tyre bead that is particularly useful for having vertically towards the wheel rim of exterior truncated cone shape wheel rim, for simplicity, is called " oppositely wheel rim " wheel rim hereinafter.
The applicant has proposed such technological improvement in document WO 99/64225, described technological improvement particularly is directed to the simplification of the production technology of the tire that the tyre bead that is applicable to reverse wheel rim wheel rim is housed.
The applicant feel be, as the object of the invention technical matters to be solved be, by dreaming up the new technical scheme that is intended to realize desired self-supporting performance, obtaining further function in above-mentioned tire improves, especially be aspect the travelling comfort, desired self-supporting performance refers to, and for example guarantees the ability that short distance/intermediate range travels when tire pierces through so that lack inflation pressure.
At above-mentioned US5,674,993 and US5,971, in U.S.'s file such as 047,, proposed to use the big ring of making by elastomeric material for the purpose of self-supporting, described big ring is assembled on the wheel rim and can provides support seat at tire band place, so that supporting construction expediently during travelling under deflated state.Different with the solution that is used on the wheel rim (being called " forward wheel rim " wheel rim hereinafter) with wheel rim of assembling away from the equatorial plane that is provided in the conventional tire, even under the deflated state of tire, this tire construction self with the tyre bead that is applicable to reverse wheel rim also can be guaranteed (at least in certain limit) tyre bead and the good anchoring between the wheel rim wheel rim accordingly.Therefore, the use that is assemblied in the elastic body support ring on the wheel rim at present is better than usually as normal other known methods that adopt on the tire with the wheel rim that is applicable to the forward wheel rim described in the files such as GB2087805, EP475258 and EP542252, in these files, for example strengthen insert (being commonly called " crescent moon ") acquisition with the elastic body that is fit to of promoting the stability that described reinforced bead engages on wheel rim separately the self-supporting performance is arranged by arranging in side-walls to combine with suitable reinforced bead.
The example of such embodiment has been described in files such as GB2087805, EP475258 and EP542252, at least one the resilient mounting insert that wherein is present in each side-walls is closed between two casingplies, described two casingplies have formed a kind of closed container so that obtain aspect good effect, the particularly tire self-supporting ability under deflated state around the resilient mounting insert.
Yet the applicant recognizes, especially for low-profile tire, that is, height/width is lower than 0.6 tire than (only as a kind of representation), as at US5,674,993 and US5, described in 971,047 files such as grade, the annular elastomeric insert is set, even under normal operating condition, also may weaken the travelling comfort of tire in tire.In fact, crown may contact with the radially outer of ring insert easily in the location that contacts with ground, particularly along with the impact of being transmitted owing to the ground-surface unevenness, described impact can be directly delivered to automotive suspension.In addition, the annular elastomeric insert has significantly reduced the amount of air in the tire, and tire flexibility is a deciding factor that influences travelling comfort.
The applicant also recognizes, as proposing in the files such as GB2087805, EP475258 and EP542252, the resilient mounting insert is placed in the closed container that is formed by the casingply that turns on annular anchor structure, can increase the rigidity of lower tire side wall greatly, the alerting ability that not only is related to its vertical direction, promptly with relevant with respect to tire axis of rotation stress radially basically, and be related to the alerting ability that it reverses, promptly relevant with the stress that the circumferential extension of tire itself partly is oriented in a tangential direction.
For example described in the applicant's patent document EP475258 and the EP542252, by adopting special means, can under the airtyred driving conditions with sidewall stiffness limits in vertical direction within some limit.But on the other hand, these technical solutions can make tire construction comparatively heavy and complicated, and can not reach the purpose of control torsional stiffness effectively, and the applicant finds, torsional stiffness is a deciding factor that influences travelling comfort, especially in/when running at high speed.In fact, the tire ability that absorbs the impact of being transmitted by road surface hollow or other uneven places depends on the torsional stiffness of tire itself.
The applicant also recognizes, when tire during travelling under the normal venting condition, as under the venting condition let alone, owing to be completely enclosed within the existence of two resilient mounting inserts between the casingply, have very strong stress and/or distortion and be applied to insert originally and be applied in the tire on other members near sidewall on one's body, this will cause the softening of the rising of operating temperature and material.Therefore, in order further to increase airtyred travelling comfort, must adopt the high material of coefficient of elasticity.
According to the present invention, we have found that, if the technical solution that adopts the tyre bead have reverse wheel rim in tire is to be substituted in by insert elastomeric insert in sidewall that assembling traditional elastic body ring obtains the self-supporting performance on the wheel rim, can obtain beyond thought tyre performance improvement effect so, particularly aspect travelling comfort.
We also surprisingly find, the use of these technical solutions can also utilize based on the simple production technology of the principle described in the above-mentioned file WO99/64225 and make tire, and the regulated at will carcass structure is applied to the degree of closure on the elastomeric insert that is arranged in side-walls as required.

Specifically, for example can interior fragment 13 be set according to a circle distribution pitch that is equivalent to its width basically, thereby make just can obtain when once rotating completely the first casingply 3a in annular brace 11, and utilize inserting resilient mounting insert 16 backs and with the order that replaces with intermediate segment 15 outer segment 14 is set and makes the second casingply 3b.
In addition, in carcass structure 2, in also can making fragment 13, middle fragment 15 and/or 25 and outer segment 14 cooperations to form the mono-casingply.In this case, belong to interior 13, in 15 and/or 31 and outer segment 14 in each fragment all should be provided with according to a circle distribution pitch for the multiple of its width.Specifically, should equal to constitute the number of the fragment that mono-or each casingply provide with factor that the width of each fragment multiply by the numerical value that obtains the circle distribution pitch mutually.For example, if three fragment series are provided, provide respectively interior 13, in 15 and outer 14 fragments, the circle distribution pitch of each fragment just is equivalent to three times of its width so.
Point is said in detail, in order to constitute casingply, at first, should axially inside fragment 13 be set by a circle distribution pitch that is equivalent to its width multiple.After resilient mounting insert 16 and presumable auxiliary reinforcing element 19 are set up, the fragment 15 of axial centre can be set by a circle distribution pitch that is equivalent to its width multiple, and each axial intermediate segment 15 has near one of them axial corresponding bizet 15b of circumferentially being provided with of the bizet 13b of inside fragment 13.Then, behind the means of complementary annular anchoring insert 20 that reinforcing element 17 is set and may exists, be provided with axially to outer segment 14, these fragments just also can be according to the circle distribution pitch setting that is substantially equal to its width multiple.When setting is finished, each axially has bizet 14b between the bizet 15b of its bizet 13b that circumferentially is arranged side by side therein an axial inside fragment 13 and one of them axial intermediate segment 15 to outer segment 14, so just can form casingply with them.When doing like this, in prepared casingply, order is staggered abreast mutually along same contour for bizet 13b, the 15b of each fragment and 14b, each sidepiece 13a, 15a and 14a then in the axial direction mutually biasing so that in one or more resilient mounting inserts 16,21 are contained between the sidepiece of fragment 13 and middle fragment 15 and in the gap that exists between the sidepiece of middle fragment 15 and outer segment 14.
In a word, by suitably selecting the deposition approach of banded fragment, can be controlled at the sealing effect that resilient mounting insert 16,20 casingply 3a, 3b on every side provided as required.
In fact, if necessary, casingply 3a, 3b can be made like this and are provided with, that is, for example have axially inside fragment 13 and axially to the carcass plies of outer segment 14 and end 13c, the 14c of these fragments are cooperatively interacted form a kind of container that is completely enclosed within around at least one resilient mounting insert 16,21 in annular anchor structure 4 by the pitch setting of suitable its width by manufacturing itself respectively.In this case, the action that is enclosed in the elastomeric material of the support insert between carcass plies 3a, the 3b resembles a kind of static(al) liquid, that is, can not compress and its deformability depends on its distortion of vessel ability of splendid attire fully.
On the other hand, if at least one casingply 3a, 3b are made by the fragment of two series, for example press interior fragment 13 and the outer segment 14 that order alternately is provided with, and at least one resilient mounting insert 16 of planting betwixt, form a kind of container around so just may being initially at insert itself, this container is opened in its two axial opposed side portions.In this case, in fact, supporting insert 16 can be present in its each axial opposite side and expand in for the interior fragment 13 of the two-fold pitch setting of its width and the gap between the outer segment 14.Like this, do not become though be used to strengthen the coefficient of elasticity of the elastomeric material of insert 16, the reinforcement degree that it gives carcass structure 2 on the whole has been lowered.This reinforcement degree reduction amount preferably can obtain adjusting as required, by changing ratio by the real space/imaginary space of determining at the sidepiece of the banded fragment of axial two opposite sides that support insert 16 and/or 21, just as the expression between maxim and minimum value, as mentioned above, can be by making all the fragment 13 of the single series that is provided with by the pitch that is equivalent to its width according to, 14 two casingply 3a that constitute, 3b obtains the maxim of ratio, and can utilize the fragment 13 of two series that the order to replace as the example in Fig. 8 is provided with, the 14 single casingply 3a that constitute obtain the minimum value of ratio.
The also degree of containing of the distortion of scalable resilient mounting insert 16,21, structural scheme by changing annular anchor structure 4 is with end 13c, the 14c that changes banded fragment, the axial distance between the 15c as required, thus can further expand support insert 16,21 along the originating party of tire bead to distortion.
In a word, the present invention can introduce new variable factor and tyre performance is exerted an influence compared to the prior art, particularly can improve the rigidity under venting condition and the venting condition.
Specifically, the present invention can effectively and easily regulate the degree of containing that the casingply 3a, the 3b that surround resilient mounting insert 16,21 provided, provide required self-supporting performance to exceed the increase torsional stiffness for giving tire 1 like this, this characteristic is to the travelling comfort particular importance, particularly is delivered to when suffering from obstacle or Uneven road when tire aspect the influence that longitudinal impact force produced of wheel.
The present invention can also make self-supporting tyre, and carcass structure wherein of the present invention can directly be made on annular brace, and whole tire is preferably formed on the annular brace.Like this, the problem that relates to semi-finished manufacturing, storage and management in the manufacture method on the traditional concept just can be eliminated.
